Food is super important, and so are the farmer's that grow it, but the ag business is manipulated and floated by big government so much so, it's hard to understand some of the real costs. It's also a great topic to have conversations over to help show the real effects of government intervention. Joining me this week is hog farmer, and cheap beer connoisseur, the Farmarchist!

It's another homeschool episode! This week we have the fantastic Don De Angelo, a high school history teacher at a private Catholic school in San Diego for a number of years and is joining the show to talk about his experiences and knowledge he has gleaned over the years. We talked about his ideas for the future of the public school system and what needs to happen to actualize any sort of change as well as some things that homeschoolers might overlook in their homestudy curriculums.

2020 has been a wild year so far, and cities have been a curious place to be. Steppy found this a good excuse to vacate the city life with a goal of eventually moving even further out. Of course, what would life outside of the city be if you weren't growing something? Steppy tells us all about getting into gardening for the first time in his life, the enjoyment and pleasure it's given him, and of course, how it all began.

On episode 55, the Liberty Hippie is joined by homeschooling father, William Haun. William isn't your ordinary homeschooling dad though, he and his family are missionaries in Ghana, and while homeschooling wasn't originally in their plan, as life would move it seemed that it would be in their families best interest to take on homeschooling. We discussed how that decision came about, and what that looks like for them. We also talked about what their education plan is like while they are stateside for the next year.

This week we talk to Linnea Gabbard, a vet tech from Arkansas who manages to live off grid with her vetrinarian husband. Together they've been able to build up their personal stores and derive essentially all of their electricity from solar arrays. And as Linnea said, once you get your personal life cleaned up, you move onto other aspects of your life, and for her, that means greening up their vet clinic. They are constantly on the lookout to make their practice greener, and have started building a new clinic that will run on solar.

Join the Liberty Hippie and James Davis for episode 50 of the Homesteads and Homeschools podcast as they enter into the world of parenting to talk about...peaceful parenting! For some, peaceful parenting can seem a bit exotic, and almost impossible to achieve, for others, it's just a form of laziness, and for those that practice it, it can become the facilliator of a beautiful relationship between parents and children, while setting those children up for great success in the future. Take a listen and see how peaceful parenting can benefit not just your children, but you.

Hemp is often touted as a miracle crop with countless applications for all; in the last few years it has quickly gained notoriety in the health world, but still faces strict legislative controls that make it all but impossible to grow despite being "legal." Today's guest, Ted Metz, came on the show to talk more about the industrial uses of hemp than the medicinal side. We discussed the many uses of hemp in industry and also some of the health effects hemp has on the natural world. Hemp is a beautiful product that can help make the world a "greener" place, and it is imperative that the legislative constrictions be released.

Vegetarians and vegans often believe their diets are healthier for the environment, and help promote animal rights. This isn't always the case. Often these diets consist of highly processed products from the industrial agricultural complex that only help promote the monoculture thousands of acres. In episode 35, we talk to Kate Kavanaugh, a former vegetarian who made the transition to an omnivorous diet and became a butcher, eventually opening her own butcher shop - Western Daughters Butcher Shoppe - in Colorado. We talked about how Kate came to make this transition, regenerative farming pracatices, and what makes Western Daughters so unique.

Lisa is a homeschooling mother of over seventeen years who experienced some of the confusion and unsureness that comes when it's time for a homeschooled student to apply to college.

In this episode, the Liberty Hippie sits down with Mike Barnhouse of Broken Shovel Farms. Mike and his wife grew up around gardens and farms so when they found a place to settle down, of course they started their own garden. Over the years the garden has grown to include a market garden and some sheep. Recently, they were even able to add some adjoining acreage to grow their homestead even bigger with fruit trees and more gardens. We talked a bit about their decision to homeschool their children, and one of Mike's hobbies that has turned into a side business: roasting coffee!
